Thanks for coverage of Colorado floods (2 letters)

Darian Shaw, 76, of Salina is rescued last Friday by members of the Alpine Rescue Team using a high line and a sling across Fourmile Canyon. (Joe Amon, The Denver Post)

Thanks to your coverage of the flood and your amazing photo by Joe Amon, my family and I discovered that our sister, Darian Shaw of Salinas, has survived the flooding.

I live in California and no one in our family had been able to make contact with Darian, so we didn’t know whether or not she had survived.

First and foremost, thanks to the Alpine Rescue Team, which rescued Darian. And please know that those of us far away are very grateful to The Denver Post for your continuing coverage during this cataclysmic time.

Our hearts are with you.

I am writing to express my gratitude to 7News for its incredible coverage of the floods this past week. Thank you to the anchors, cameramen, reporters, writers, producers, meteorologists and support staff who worked tirelessly outside their normal business hours to keep viewers informed about this dangerous storm. The reporters displayed courage and commitment under potentially dangerous conditions to bring us breaking news.

The coverage of this storm is so much more important than the “regularly scheduled programming” and advertising dollars that go along with it.

Gail Dubas, Highlands Ranch
